Résumé
Colorectal cancer with liver metastases is a condition with significant morbidity and mortality that affects many people around the world. Many treatments exist to target liver metastases, including surgical resection, chemotherapy, nonsurgical liver-directed therapies, and liver transplantation. The field of transplant oncology is emerging as a promising alternative to palliative chemotherapy alone in appropriately selected patients. Though few clinical trials have been completed to evaluate safety of liver transplant for colorectal cancer metastases, there are several ongoing trials to hopefully make transplant a viable option for more patients with limited options.
